blog: update free transcription software article with 2026 content

[devin-ai-integration]

Summary

Full content rewrite of the /blog/free-transcription-software/ article based on the Optimized article tab from Google Doc.

Key changes:

• Rebranded "Hyprnote" → "Char" throughout
• New tool lineup (5 tools, was 6): Char, Heidi Health, Riverside, TurboScribe, Transcript.LOL
• Removed Otter.ai, Notta, MacWhisper from detailed reviews (Otter.ai moved to "didn't include" section)
• Added Heidi Health (medical) and TurboScribe (interviews) as new entries
• New "Why Choose X" sections added for each tool
• Section reorder: "Popular Tools We Didn't Include" now appears after detailed reviews
• Updated frontmatter: year 2025→2026, date, meta_title, meta_description

Updates since last revision

• Added 5 image assets to apps/web/public/images/blog/free-transcription-software/: char.webp, heidi-health.webp, heidi-health-pricing.webp, turboscribe.webp, turboscribe-pricing.webp
• Replaced Char hero image with new videoframe_4409.png asset (converted to webp), per user request
• Updated image paths for Char, Heidi Health, and TurboScribe images from /api/images/ (Supabase proxy) to /images/ (local public directory)
• Riverside and Transcript.LOL images remain served via /api/images/ (Supabase). Char pricing image also still uses /api/images/.

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

• heidi-health.webp and heidi-health-pricing.webp are identical files (same git blob hash 3fe616893). The two source PNGs provided produced the same image. Verify whether different assets were intended for the Heidi Health review vs. pricing screenshots.
• Mixed image serving paths: New images use /images/ (local public dir) while Riverside, Transcript.LOL, and Char pricing still use /api/images/ (Supabase proxy). Confirm this inconsistency is acceptable or if all images should use the same pattern.
• Verify all images render correctly on the Netlify preview — check that the new Char hero image, Heidi Health screenshots, and TurboScribe screenshots all load and display at appropriate sizes.
• Verify "Char" branding is intentional — the article fully replaces "Hyprnote" with "Char". Confirm this aligns with current branding direction.

Suggested test plan: Open the Netlify deploy preview, scroll through the full article, and confirm every image loads. Pay particular attention to the Heidi Health section (both images are currently identical).

Notes

• Images were converted from PNG → WebP using ImageMagick at quality 80
• Existing Supabase-hosted images reused where unchanged: transcription-2 (Char pricing), transcription-3/4 (Transcript.LOL), transcription-5/6 (Riverside)
